2011 Map of Broseley

About this map

Higginbothams Ferry provides a focal point along the Saint Francis River in this section of Butler County, where the landscape is defined by an extensive drainage network. The terrain is crisscrossed by engineered waterways like Ditch Number 18 and Menorkanut Slough Number 19, reflecting a highly managed agricultural environment. Small community clusters such as Broseley, Hicoria Spur, and Nyssa are linked by a grid of county roads, while local history is anchored by Vale Cemetery and Browns Cemetery. Along the river, natural features like Upper Shoals and Lower Shoals stand in contrast to the rigid drainage lines, illustrating the intersection of the river's original path with local irrigation and flood control efforts.
